The massive size of the original six-volume History of Woman Suffrage has likely limited its impact on the lives of the women who benefitted from the efforts of the pioneering suffragists. By collecting miscellanies like state suffrage reports and speeches of every sort without interpretation or restraint, the set was often neglected as impenetrable. In their Concise History of Woman Suffrage, Mari Jo Buhle and Paul Buhle have revitalized this classic text by carefully selecting from among its best material. The eighty-two chosen documents, now including interpretative introductory material by the editors, give researchers easy access to material that the original work's arrangement often caused readers to ignore or to overlook. The volume contains the work of many reform agitators, among them Angelina Grimké, Lucy Stone, Carrie Chapman Catt, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Anna Howard Shaw, Jane Addams, Sojourner Truth, and Victoria Woodhull, as well as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Ida Husted Harper.

History of Woman Suffrage, Volume 1' is a comprehensive account of the early years of the women's suffrage movement in the United States. Written by three prominent suffragists: Susan B.

The book covers the major events and milestones of the movement, including the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848, the establishment of the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869, and the suffrage campaigns of the 1870s and 1880s. The author also provided biographical sketches of many of the key figures in the movement, including Lucy Stone, Sojourner Truth, and Victoria Woodhull. Throughout the book, the authors offer insightful analysis of the political and social forces that shaped the movement, as well as the strategies and tactics used by suffragists to achieve their goals.
